I have one small issue with saying that humans are the forerunners.
A long while back, I remember reading something about how the MJOLNIR suits were based loosely off Greek Mythology (demons, armor, gods, I cannot remember what). Now, being based loosely on a religion created by humans many thousands of years ago honoring beings that 'created us' and 'taught us' and brought us 'enlightenment'... things the Forerunner are said to have done... the resemblence of the Chief's Mark V to what GS calls a "level 2 containment skin" or whatever he said - something must have been lost in the translation. What my issue here is - why would Forerunner descendants make religions praising their ancestors as Gods, and then suddenly forget all of the learning and technology? Is it because this Ark they built to protect the earth - and the last of their race - was such a last ditch effort that no extra tech. was ever transported in enough masse to continue living in such a level of decadence?
However, it should be pointed out that a Marine, with his face clearly visible, was lead almost halfway through the library by GS, who must have recognized something in him linking him to the ancient creators...
